Jointly organized by La Chambre and the CRI des Lumières – referred to as the organizers – the Photographic Mission Grand Est is ordered and funded by the Grand Est region.

Conditions of participation

The PMGE is open to professional photographers showing evidence of a regular production – exhibitions, publications – and registered with an artists’ social security fund. No age or geographic location criteria apply for the candidates’ selection, however it is recalled that there are mandatory presence periods in the Grand Est territory which have a fixed compensation ceiling, wherever the candidate must travel from.

The order concerns an original project, that will be realized on the occasion of the PMGE on a freely chosen subject. The used medium is photography. No process or approach is excluded. The artists must bring a new perspective to the Grand Est region, in terms of contents and/or form.

Selection criteria

The jury will consist of a national jury made up of geographers, historians, landscape architects, photographers and representatives of the organizing structures (Greater East Region, La Chambre, Cri des lumières). P>

The choice of the jury will be primarily oriented by the artistic quality of the proposals. Thematic relevance will also be taken into account, as well as the distribution of projects in the Greater East. Photographers are encouraged to explore the “white areas” that were previously poorly photographed.
